Background: I have a couple of Tumbleweed (intel and ARM) machines at work. These are behind the corporate firewall. This firewall scans every file download for viri and the like. If a file is suspect, you don't get it. I have encountered a problem where a couple of openSUSE RPMS look suspicious to this check, and are blocked from download. At least this is what the IT guys feel is happening. The specific files change. But if a file fails, it will always fail. So it is consistent. For example, at the time of this message, this file is not allowed: http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/suse/i686/kernel-pae-4.9.9-... Another unpopular file is kernel-firmware. And, the Windows versions of Tcl and Tk. But others pop up occasionally. I had thought that I would just grab the files from home, put them on my machine, and all will be fine. The problem is that Tumbleweed is quite active. The files change over the day. So getting the ones that cause the complaint is difficult. When I get back to work, new files may complain. Question: The IT guys have offered to white list a site where the files will be passed through. So I thought I would suggest download.opensuse.org. The problem is that zypper uses mirrors. So the downloads may not actually come from there. I thought I would just specify a local mirror in the URL. Unfortunately, mirrors seem not to mirror everything on download.opensuse.org. So, I thought I might use the mirror URL for the repos that the mirror has. But that leaves the other repos. Like http://download.opensuse.org/update/tumbleweed/, which I do not see on the mirrors I have checked. Is it possible (even though I understand that it is perhaps bad netiquette) to tell zypper to not use a mirror? At least this may allow me to verify that, when white listed, the files from a repo can be obtained. A nice feature for zypper could be that it tries a mirror, and after a couple failures, it tries the specified repo before failing. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
